More About Us
Common Grounds Dog Park Committee was created in 2015 by a small group of dog loving citizens who wanted to help better their community for both dogs and people. They saw a need for a large fenced in area for citizens of their community to exercise and socialize their dogs, and begin the work of developing, designing, fundraising and promoting the idea of a large dog park in the Scottsbluff/Gering community.
In October 2018, we completed construction of Monument Dog Park, a five-acre dog park at the southwest corner of Five Rocks Road and U Street, in Gering, Nebraska. Monument Dog Park opened with three separate sections, so dogs can play safely in different situations. We are dedicated to the upkeep and renovation of Riverside Dog Park in Scottsbluff, and have recently made several improvements and upgrades. It is our goal to promote responsible dog ownership and create a platform for canine and community member engagement through events, programs, partnerships and dog parks.
